For the second time this year, an SEC football coach has compared Alabama head coach Nick Saban to the Prince of Darkness.

Florida offensive line coach Tim Davis took shots at the Crimson Tide coach on Tuesday at a booster club meeting in Melbourne, Florida, including a comparison between Saban and Davis' current boss Will Muschamp, according to a report from GatorBait.net. The three worked together when Saban was the head coach of the Miami Dolphins.

"I've always wanted to work with Will," Davis said. "Will's got a plan. Will coached
under the devil himself for seven years. I only did three. He did seven.
And his DNA is not any different than Nick."

Davis also suggested that he preferred Muschamp's more personable coaching style to Saban's.

"[Muschamp]'s like the other guy, only he's got a personality," Davis said. "He'll smile
at you. He'll talk to you. You understand? That's what he's all about.
That's Will. I'm proud to work for him."

Earlier this year, Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin apologized personally to Saban after referring to him as "Nicky Satan" at a speaking engagement.
